Radiology / Diagnostic - Neuroradiology

The Washington University physicians at Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology (MIR) have been providing clinical radiology services for nearly three quarters of a century and have earned the reputation of a radiology leader.

MIR is a large and complex radiology department—a necessity for providing top quality radiology services to our patients.

Our expert radiologists, working with skilled nurses and technologists, perform and interpret more than 600,000 examinations and procedures each year. Combine this experience and expertise with productive research and training programs and you have a top-notch radiology facility for diagnosing and treating diseases.
